Metabo 600405420 SXE400 3-1/8 in. Compact Random Orbit Disc Sander

Details

Metabo sanders and polishers are known for their superb surface finishing technology. Hardly any application places such varied demands on tool development than processing surfaces - whether it's rough or fine, even or curved, into tight corners or wide open areas. That is why Metabo offers a suitable tool for almost any special problem. When the tool matches the challenge, you get the desired result. Metabo. Work. Don't play.

I purchased this sander from CPO in August 2014 to sand the bronze prop on my boat in preparation for painting with anti-fouling. It sat in my basement until this week. I got through 2 sheets of 80 grit sandpaper with the tool working just fine. Then it would not turn on. Now, at my expense I have to send it to Matebo for repair and find another sander to complete the prep on the prop. Not happy!

We use this tool to restore dull headlights and to buff small scratches on cars in our auto detailing business. It's great for tight spaces, like near door handles and mirrors. Saves us a lot of work and time by being able to pinpoint a smaller area to be repaired rather than using a traditional 6" buffer and repairing a much larger area than is necessary. We have these in all of our detail shops!

I make a lot of bowls, platters, hollow forms. This sander excels in the coarser grits for smoothing without leaving marks. Many use drills as sanders and find they burn out due to dust packing in the bearings/bushings. Not this. I think it will last forever.

I purchased this sander to hopefully sand out the profiles on the panels of raised panel doors. It performed this effortlessly. It sure beats hand sanding. The machine has some serious power for the compact design, so hang on tightly when first engaging the work piece, as it can get away from you. I used 180 grit discs and they worked fine and lasted long enough to sand at least 5 door profiles on 4 edges. It is a great tool for my use, and I'm sure it will work very well on detail work. I wouldn't advise it on larger pieces due to the disc size.
